The holder of a bachelor’s degree from any accredited college or university is eligible for consideration for admission to our graduate program. It is normally expected that entering graduate students will possess basic competence in advanced calculus and linear algebra.

In addition to completing the online application form, all applicants are required to submit the following:

• Undergraduate and graduate transcripts from all past institutions
• Personal statement
• CV or resume
• Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores are optional but preferred
• Three (3) letters of recommendation

International students for whom English is not the native language and who have not completed a baccalaureate or master’s degree program from a University where instruction was primarily done in English must submit language test scores (TOEFL, IELTS, or Pearson PTE). Please note, official language test scores must be on file by the time of application review.

GRE scores should be on file at Case Western Reserve University while applications are being considered. Letters of recommendation should originate from individuals who are able to assess the applicant’s mathematical ability.

For additional information, please contact us at mams-grad-chair@case.edu.

Students may apply to the Combined Bachelor’s/Master’s program after completing at least 60 credit hours toward their bachelor’s degree, provided they have at least one semester of undergraduate degree requirements remaining. Individual programs may have higher minimum credit hour requirements. Generally, students apply during their sixth semester of undergraduate enrollment (spring of their junior year). Interested students should consult with their four-year advisor in the Undergraduate Advising Support Office to confirm eligibility and discuss the application process. Students may double count up to 9 credit hours of graduate-level coursework toward both degrees and do not need to be formally admitted to the master’s program before taking courses eligible for double counting.

Application Process

• Interested students should consult with their four-year advisor in the Undergraduate Advising Support Office about their plans, and to confirm eligibility for this program. The four-year advisor will refer students to the appropriate point of contact to further discuss in detail.
• Next, students should apply via the online application system. (Note that the application fee is automatically waived.)
• Download the Planned Program of Study (PPOS) Form and complete it with an advisor from the master’s program.
• Upload the PPOS form onto the online application; this form is considered unofficial at this point and will be used in the review process by the department. Submit the online application.
• If accepted by the department, students MUST have the PPOS form reviewed and signed by the Undergraduate Advising Support Office. The Undergraduate Advising Support Office will return the form to Graduate Studies for final review.
• Once the form has been signed off by all parties, the student receives their official offer letter from Graduate Studies. The student will need to accept the offer of admission in order to matriculate with a graduate record in SIS.
